Imagine when he was in school those days how much did he pay as school fees.

I did not call you crazy either. I said different types of craze.

If its not a crazy phenomenon, how would you justify survival of a family on N30,000 then add university fees on top?

nairalanda1:


Oga, I did not call you crazy

Also, if opinions affect you that way, then by your own comment you have abused the sensibilites of many people

Accept that you are wrong. I did not abuse you, yet you came here and abused me for nothing.

For heaven's sake, why are you so immature,? Why do you have to behave like a little child.?

Would you like it if I called you crazy? Have I ever abused you?

Grow up.

Better stop lying man. What you did was wrong. You called me crazy.

You are doing something wrong, and when challenged, you first claimed that I abused your sensibilites, now you are denying that you ever abused me

Thanks. You have shown who you are. And as far as I am concerned, you can enjoy yourself.

When the tears of Nigeria masses reach God in Heaven, these godless rulers we have in this country and their family will cry and suffer both here on earth and eternity. How could one immerging that with the present hardship, this man cannot advise the government to stop extravagant life style and corruption in the system, it is masses that must pay for everything. They can award contract that valued more that half of Nigeria budget without due process and competitive bidding, they can pack hundreds of government official to conference in London and thousand officials to meeting in Dubai, buying car worth 160 million to to nass members, the only tuition free federal universities is their problem now. The man has forgotten that some of these universities have being charging as much as 200,000 without tuition, despite the fact that government is paying staff salaries, building infrastructure and other overheads. So why is the need to suffocate the masses.

Don't justify rvbbish again, its annoying

Tuition fees to still share amongst themselves.


Nothing for the people.

But there's always been tuition fees, right?

nairalanda1:


If we cut the cost of governance it still won't be enough.

We have an education budget of 1.4 trillion naira or about 1 billion dollars . That's not enough for 220 million people. UN says it must be 8 trillion or 26%of our budget.

I am not against want you said or say... I didn't say cost of governance should be cut, but I said if we look at cost of governance in this country, you will know there is money in this country to finance education... If you also look at the amount of money, politicians loots every seconds per minutes, you will know that Nigeria can fund her education... To what you said earlier, not all Nigerians will be educated or like to go to school. It is just as if 220 million people wants to go to school at once... I am not saying people who wants to go to school shouldn't pay a dime, but education can be subsidies in this country with good educational facilities every where...

Oga, when you keep justifying the wrong you have done, it won't end well for you.

If I called you, or your loved ones crazy, you would not like it. You would be angry. SO you don;t have the right to call me, or indeed anyone on this site , crazy

At the end of the day, you are even defending your wrongdoing.

Perhaps you have tested it ..and it is effectively in your region....How come there is a massive exodus of Ibo people from your poto poto region to Yoruba region ....Hunger * abi?
We go soon deport some of Una back to Una poto poto region

Obi Bitter manufacture this kind drug but he is unable to cure his people of poverty for his 8 years tenure , no school built , 13 months of doctors strike , pension not paid . Substandard road infrastructure...( Thank God for Obiano who reconstructed the road ) All kind of highhandedness and criminality in Anambra ...
Worst and cheapest confuse obi adminstration in Anambra is giving a solution to a particular politican which his legacy in Lagos and in Nigeria at large will last for centuries...?


What a mistake of human race!!!!

nairalanda1:
Yes, he is right.

(If you want to quote me to abuse me, you will be reported to the moderators. You can be mature about disagreeing with me. Thank you. I will not abuse you in return)

The harsh truth is that funding our universities is a difficult thing. IN 2009, ASUU and government signed an agreement. BY 2013, the money had not been paid, and by 2018, about less than one third of the money promised had been paid...and that's it.

IN 2018, the then VC of ABU, Zaria, gave a speech. IN the speech he stated that his overheads were 600million for the year. Government gave him 120 million and told him to find the rest of the money...like how? That is how he ended up saying ....you want cambridge level, charge cambridge level fees.

You cannot pay fees less than 200000 and expect quality worth 2billion naira. It is not possible. I know that most of us are poor....and so forth, but the thing is, unviersites cost money. Too much money to run, to pay teachers and other staff, to buy equipment. Our universites are in an atrocious state, and paying such low fees, and then pretending we can reach the level of a Harvard or Oxford is a joke. The oil money we have, even if we fight corruption, cannot raise our universites to high level, without us spending over half our budget on the thing.

Yes, our fathers went to university for free...back when there were less than 7 universites with about 4000 students or less. Govt then could manage. Today, the numbers are going up.

God knows I hate the Tinubu loan scheme, and I know it would fail, but what are the alternatives? Taxation, we no gree. Punish corruptuion, we gree...until it is our side (See how people were angry at the US senate for going after GEJ, AND I know how BAT People get annoyed when bullion vans and drug money is mentioned, and then Obi and Pandora and money in the car...and then Atiku own self...lol)...then we no go gree. Pay ASUU their money, we no gree. Diversify the economy, we no gree. Industrialise, we no gree.

Either we find 30 trillion naira every year. or more for education alone, or we just accept that tuition fees is all that is left. Nigeria is a broke nation. The corruption makes it worse. And even if we fought the corruption AS WE SHOULD...it would still not be enough.

Meet Seun for that.

nairalanda1:


Unfortunately for good educaiton, citizens must bear the burden...either in heavy taxes, or student loans. Even the grants some students get are funded by heavy taxes.

As for subsidy removal,even with that, we cannot earn enough money for qaulity universites. That is why I keep shouting we have to get off oil dependency, and improve tax quality

The tax propag&ndist is on the beat again on Nairaland. Government must be paying you a lot to drive this tax narrative for them on every tax related thread on this platform.

However when the time comes and you have 3 or 4 of your children in the universities at the same time, and it is your turn to pay humongous tuition fees for them, please remember not to complain.

Anyway, education costs money. Lots of money

nairalanda1:


Therein lies the problem

At the end the only viable option is fees. And paying for them fees via loans.

It's not an idea I like, but the thing is either we do that, or we just leave our universities in a bad state.

Allow me to borrow your catchphrase..
Good luck to Nigerians! ( Said with gritted teeth)


( God , can you give us a pot that produces one trillion naira on demand for the treasury).

Please 🙏 refrain from using that slogan. It's trademarked. I'm the only FGN licensed and approved dispenser of Good Luck at low and subsidized prices.

You've been warned.

Nigerians are advised to disregard all touts peddling adulterated and expired good luck.

Good Luck to Nigerians!

Hello.
What do you mean pls?
You saying subsidy must be removed before a nation can advance in development?
Can you clarify me?

IbeOkehie:
ALL SUBSIDIES MUST BE ABOLISHED FOR NIGERIA TO BECOME A DEVELOPED COUNTRY...unless liberal free market capitalism becomes the basis of the State, Nigeria will remain poor and undeveloped. Nigeria can't even sustain subsidized healthcare and primary education, the requisite social-cultural impetus just isn't there.

And before criticism, look up the economic definition of development.

Good Luck to Nigeria.

The main problem is goverment is lazy to provide funds.
If social amenities are okay with citizens working, getting their profits at the end, you can remove subsidy.

nairalanda1:



Okay, I guess we should keep the fees low then

So don't complain when our universities fall in ranking as usual.

You are like someone suggesting painting outside of your house and putting fine designs on your compound but the inside of your house is bland and empty and poor.

What happened to the purchasing power of the citizens?

nairalanda1:


NO they won't....we need trillions...something like 10 trillion or more...for education to be world class.

Not the 1.5 trillion we spend on education

Seriously, the money is yuge.

The DG is acting as if he doesn't know or trying to trend. Most of the Federal Universities have increased their fees and recall that some of the institutions got closed down because of the student's protests against the hike in school fees recently. And to think his suggestion is coming when the Government cannot pay a living wage to her workers. Where does he think the parents would pay for the tuition from?

And your leaders dont know her nation cant sustain on oil alone?
Lazy government.

nairalanda1:


We are the only oil dependent country with a population larger than the ability of the oil money we earn to sustain us. 2 Million barrels is not enough to give 220 million people good things



Let unis be funded by appropriate fees, and those who cannot pay can do loans (I hate to say that, but in the absence of alternatives..)

Laple0541:
It’s getting too much President Tinubu

Someone that knows someone should tell someone to tell this man that the poor masses are finding it too difficult to breathe with all these harsh economic policies that his government is dishing out to the poor masses.

The fact we supported a man for a reason or reasons well known to us does not mean we should keep quiet when things are becoming unnecessarily difficult. The masses are being increasingly pushed to the wall on a daily basis and their resistance may be bloody when there is no where to push them to.

fearyourcreator and other RONUs said government owe Nigerians nothing. They said government are being elected every four years to empower themselves. They said Nigerians never see anything. This according to the association of RONUs

God has given us all we need.
A sound mind to make common sense decisions.

We have men of God who can't call our leaders corrupt, but their members are suffering.

They are affiliate of evil politicians as they keep quiet in the face of evil men.


Ever heard of the French revolution.

But allocating billions to buying frivolous Toyota Prado ain't expensive?

nairalanda1:


Educaiton is expensive. It's a sad truth




I will answer your question by saying education is expensive.

And in response to your cursing....may you recieve all that you desire for in tenfold.

Good evening.

The ones we are paying is it not enough. You pay for sports you don't use, medicals you don't use, ICT for WiFi you don't use, everything go reach like 80k. You still wan add school fees on top.

ThePolemicist:
Omo.. They really want to reduce the purchasing ability of the Nigerian people.

Most of the supporters of the government will agree per usual; but e go touch everybody last last!

You don finish school no means say your children or family members no go go.

E GO TOUCH EVERYBODY EVENTUALLY!!

they are not going about this in the right way at all

i dont know why nigerians are afraid to come out in large number for peaceful protest.

Which school fees again.The one they increased recently and many couldn't secure their admission? Very soon formal university education will no longer be a priority for most homes.Nigeria is in a terrible mess right now.How can you increase fees few months back by over 100% and you are hear advocating for another increase.Confused set of people.Meanwhile, you never advocate for the purchasing power, and salaries to be increased,indirectly saying only the rich should afford higher education.After privatizing education, I wonder what they will privatize again.These are nothing more than the signs of a broken failed economy holding tightly to the drowning masses to bail itself.
